First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two drugs, lignocaine and dexmedetomidine, to see which better prevents sudden rises in heart rate and blood pressure when a breathing tube is inserted during anesthesia. 62 adults having elective surgery took part. The goal is to find a safer way to protect patients, especially those with heart problems, from complications like irregular heartbeat or stroke.
